Chapter 727: 428, Qing Yuan’s clue!_2

The Outer World doesn’t have cloud towers like giant mushrooms, and in the Inner World, all mechanical limbs have special wireless charging technology.

Moreover, in the Inner World everyone’s mechanical limbs were always charging, but once they returned to the Outer World, they only remembered about charging when the power was about to run out.

Initially, Jiang Xue’s mechanical limbs, after just one high-intensity use, faced the trouble of running out of power. It was XiaoTongyun who thought up a solution by replacing them with a high-end military-grade mechanical arm to avoid such embarrassing situations in the future.

However, other Time Travelers were not as lucky as Jiang Xue…

Most Time Travelers possessed mechanical limbs of the same grade as Jiang Xue’s original ones.

Quite a few Time Travelers became disabled within just seven days of returning.

Some had mechanical arms that ran out of power.

Some had mechanical legs that ran out of power.

Some Time Travelers, whose entire bodies were modified with mechanics, now lay in bed like they were quadriplegic, fearing that if they didn’t return to the Inner World soon, something terrible might happen.

This morning, there was even a media report stating that some Time Travelers with mechanical legs were brought in wheelchairs…

So strong.

Until now, only a few organizations had managed to develop small devices for charging mechanical limbs, and most Time Travelers didn’t have them.

This technology is actually not complicated, but the key issue is that mass production can’t be achieved within a month.

For some businesses, there is also the consideration of whether it’s worth mass-producing wireless charging devices for the Inner World.

Keep in mind, there are only 35,000 to 50,000 Time Travelers, and at most one-fifth of them use mechanical limbs.

Even if they sell charging devices, if they’re too expensive, many Time Travelers can’t afford them; if too cheap, they won’t cover the costs of the businesses.

So this issue is quite awkward, and Time Travelers can only slowly find a way themselves, saving money to upgrade to high-end mechanical limbs.

Even then, there’s still a problem—if any return trip lasts a year, then although high-end mechanical limbs can last a month, they would have to remain incapacitated for the remaining 11 months.

And if a Time Traveler doesn’t travel through time again after returning, some cannot afford the costly charging devices, which essentially makes them no different from being fully paralyzed…

Qing Chen sized up the Time Travelers in front of him, totaling 22 people including Li Yi.

With this number of people, it was enough for him to do some things.

Using others for one’s own ends, is there a problem with that? No problem.

At that moment, Luo Wanya sent a message, “The Sanjiangkou Organization’s vehicle has left the conference center.”

…

…

On the third floor of the conference center, Zheng Yuandong was silently watching the to and fro of Spider-Man, Deadpool, Pikachu, and Slime below.

There was also the Scorpion Spirit from the Gourd Brothers cartoon… and Pangolins.

“Time Travelers really do have boundless imaginations,” Lu Yuan commented from the side.

Zheng Yuandong asked, “Have you received anything from Qing Chen?”

“No,” Lu Yuan shook his head: “The guy disappeared. Ni Ergou didn’t see him at the exit, and there was no one on the platform either.”

Zheng Yuandong instructed, “Waiting for him at the exit isn’t very secure. For the next meeting, send a car directly to his home to pick him up.”

“Boss, where do you think he could go?” Lu Yuan was a bit puzzled: “He didn’t come directly to the conference center, what else could he be doing?”

“I don’t know,” Zheng Yuandong shook his head: “A normal person’s thinking, can’t guess his thoughts.”

“But at least the kid has some principles, somewhat a good person, right? Should we be so defensive against him? He is just one person,” Lu Yuan wondered.

“You look at how troubled the European branches of Future, Jindai, and Deer Island are now, then you know if it’s necessary,” Zheng Yuandong turned to leave: “Keep an eye on the news. Wherever there is a Time Traveler mishap in Zheng City, go there to find him, surely you can’t be wrong.”

“…Alright.”

“By the way, where are the other Daytime members?” Zheng Yuandong asked.

“I checked the hotel registration; there were four people who filled out the participation acknowledgment: Qing Chen, Liu Dezhu, Nan Gengchen, Luo Wanya, with the latter three having already arrived at the hotel,” Lu Yuan said: “Only, once they left the hotel, no one knew where they went.”

“Didn’t they say they were dressed as Slime?” Zheng Yuandong asked.

“Boss, there are thirty-one slimes in the conference center right now, I can’t tell which ones are them,” Lu Yuan said innocently.

Zheng Yuandong nodded, “These two don’t matter, but keep a close eye on Luo Wanya. Don’t let him start a family in the conference center… How come the Daytime has all sorts of people?”

At this moment, the conference center featured an exhibit that prepared afternoon tea for everyone.

At the edge of the conference center, a long table was set up, covered with fine snacks, coffee, and juice.

Members of the Matrix stood by the table, not eating anything, just chatting with others.

A Matrix member whispered, “Senior, don’t you think those two slimes not far from here seem to be staring at us?”

The Matrix member opposite him was startled and turned his head to look at the two slimes nearby.

However, when he turned his head, he found the slimes were not looking their way.

“Not really, aren’t they looking at that miss?” the Matrix member wondered.

“No, I keep feeling they are looking at us. Those two slimes have been watching us, and there’s a green Little Dinosaur watching them from the other side.”

“What a mess…”

“However, at this Federation conference, Matrix and Red Leaves should be the most eye-catching. It’s normal to be looked at,” a female member said with a laugh.

That was certainly true; Matrix and Red Leaves were the most watched these past two days. They enjoyed the attention of other Time Travelers, maintaining their posture proudly.

Just then, a Matrix member became puzzled, “I also feel like those two slimes seem to be staring at us.”

Another Matrix member said with a big smile, “No worries, I’ll just go and say hello to them and find out what’s the deal.”

Saying this, he strode confidently toward the two slimes.

The two slimes squatted on the ground, and Liu Dezhu whispered, “Can you ever act reliably?”

“How am I not reliable?” Nan Gengchen was displeased.

“When I said to switch out the slimes, you said you had a backup plan, and your backup plan turned out to be dressing up as Gourd Kids?” Liu Dezhu said.

“What’s wrong with that? Gourd Kids’ outfits aren’t discounted. I spent a fortune on them,” Nan Gengchen retorted.

“But Gourd Kids’ outfits don’t cover the face,” Liu Dezhu lamented, “Also, how could you tell Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen themselves about impersonating them?!”

“I am all for honesty in dealing with people, what do you know,” Nan Gengchen argued.

“So what do we do now? Let’s agree on something—if someone asks about our identity, what should we say? Should we pretend to be from Kunlun? Or maybe people from Kyushu would work.”

Nan Gengchen thought for a moment and said, “But won’t it be really embarrassing if we get caught? I have a plan.”

“Forget it, someone from the Matrix is breaking away from the group. He might be the person the boss is looking for … Oh, he’s coming over here,” Liu Dezhu said.

Then the Matrix member approached the two slimes, “Hello, who are you two?”

Nan Gengchen was startled, “My name is Liu Dezhu.”

Liu Dezhu was shocked and glared at Nan Gengchen: “I… I’m Nan Gengchen.”

The two exchanged glances, Liu Dezhu thought to himself, What’s the difference between this and directly revealing our names and identities?!

The Matrix member looked confusedly at the two, “Liu Dezhu, that name sounds so familiar… Wait, are you a Daytime member?!”

“Hahaha, how could that be!” Liu Dezhu and Nan Gengchen fled in panic.

Just as many people’s attention was drawn to Liu Dezhu and Nan Gengchen.

Meanwhile, Luo Wanya, wearing a large black mask, wandered around nonchalantly while secretly keeping an eye on the Matrix side.

At that moment, someone from the Matrix group suddenly left.

Luo Wanya’s eyes lit up. He exchanged a glance with another masked person not far away. The young man nodded and followed.

And Luo Wanya himself stayed in the exhibition hall, watching the Matrix.
